JGOD reveals long-range meta following Call of Duty Warzone Season 4 Reloaded Update

The Call of Duty Season 4 Reloaded update went live on July 27, 2022, bringing in a new long-range meta with the nerf to NZ-41. Prior to this update, the weapon had dominated the Warzone meta for months. It has also brought changes to sniper rifles and shotguns, adding more diversity to loadouts.

With improvements to weapons from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 and Black Ops Cold War, Activision's previous titles with Warzone, JGOD has revealed his new picks as a long-range meta following the mid-season update.

JGOD, one of Call of Duty Warzone's well-established meta-analysis experts and YouTubers, recently addressed the nerf to the NZ-41 recoil that has enabled guns from Modern Warfare 2019 and Cold War to resurface.

The long range meta is analyzed with respect to maps such as Caldera that not only favor weapons with good damage per mag and recoil, but also how much accuracy they can provide with a magnified optic. With that in mind, here are the top long-range meta weapons following the Season 4 Reloaded update:

JGOD considers this weapon to be capable of being meta on most Warzone maps, with its low damage per mag being the only shortcoming.

With a 50 round mag, the Nikita AVT is still an average performer and, as JGOD suggests, it could improve if Warzone ever unlocks a 75 or 80 Round magazine for this weapon.

The Automaton is another average assault rifle that can get the job done over a distance above 80 to 100 meters, which is a requirement in maps like Fortune's Keep and Caldera.

As per the attachments, the Automaton build has been pretty consistent across the season and benefits from the 75 round drum magazines.

The AK-47 is a classic Call of Duty Warzone weapon that possesses two variants, one from Call of Duty
